oh yea, and i installed a windows update, would that have killed my on board lan port? it died right after i installed a windows update. i think i tried dl'ing an update from the mobo website but i don't remember what happened.

i'm using an existing system but i just want to upgrade my ram and wanted to know if that ram would work in my system since it's dual channel and i don't have a DC mobo. just don't wanna waste money on something that won't work for me, ya know?

"CAS Latency (CL) is the ratio between column access time (tCAC) and the clock cycle time (tCLK), rounded to the next higher whole number. The formula is rather simple really, divide the column access time by the clock cycle time, then raise the result to the next whole number."
